Eva is a limited deck from Thirdway Industries, designed by Giovanni Meroni. I consider it a spin off of SINS. The court cards are the first women of different cultures.

There are no stretch goals planned for Eva - however, if there are some, they will be included in the Forbidden Box. The Forbidden Box does not include uncut sheets.

Eva uncut Sheet

The Eva Uncut Sheet will be a limited item for the Kickstarter campaign. I usually make around 10 Uncut Sheets, based on the demand. If you raise your pledge for an Uncut Sheet please send me a Private Message.

Stele Oscura

I think Carat Card Cases are the best way to display decks, because they're the only box that allow you to see what is inside. This box will have a light engraved design on one side and it's black, but it will be transparent anyway. Also, Carat Card Cases are very sturdy.

One Stele Oscura Case will be included for free in all the Forbidden Boxes.

Stele Oscura Case will cost around $25 after Kickstarter.

The images shown are renderings - the final product may be different.

The hieroglyphs

The hieroglyphs on the card edges are different for every suit:

The Spades represent the Pandora's Box

The Hearts represent the Apple and the Snake

The Clubs represent the deluge sent from Olympus to Earth. The lighting is there because the deluge was sent by Zeus.

The Diamonds represent the fight between the first man and Lilith

Pandora

Pandora was the first human woman, created by Hephaestus and Athena on the instruction of Zeus. She was a punishment to humanity for Prometheus' theft of the secret of fire.

She, like Eva, did something she wasn't allowed to do and doomed all humanity. Both of them love Knowledge.

Pyrrha

Pyrrha was the daughter of Pandora. She's not a first woman, since her mother was the first, but she and Deucalion, her husband, were the only survivors of the deluge sent by Zeus to end the bronze age.

Prometheus told Pyrrha about the deluge and saved mankind for the second time.

Like Eva, Pyrrha populated the earth. Both are the mothers of humanity.

Lilith

Lilith was, in some cultures, the real first woman. She was made from the same dirt as Adam. The first man wanted to dominate her, so she grew wings and flew away from Eden. Then she coupled with a fallen angel. She's considered a demon.

Eva decided to be on Adam's side, but I think she shares the same rebellious nature as Lilith.

Eva

Eva is the main character - she shares a lot in common with the other women. She is curious like Pandora, rebellious like Lilith and motherly like Pyrrha. I decided to call her "the lover" since I think she did what she did since she was in love - with Adam, with knowledge, but more than anything - with freedom.

Prometheus, the Snake

The Snake, Prometheus, represents the "voice of freedom and rebellion" of the first women and humanity. He inspired Eva to eat the Apple of Knowledge, as well as convince Pandora to open her Box. He told Pyrrha about the great deluge and he embraced Lilith when she flew away from the Eden. He's both a positive and a negative figure.

Eva is a Thirdway Industries deck, and will be available on Thirdway Store when the campaign will be over.

Risks and challenges

This is my eighth Kickstarter, I already printed Evil Deck, Delirium, Omnia, Dedalo and Pantheon. My latest project, SINS, is in production when I'm writing this. I produced around 30,000 decks with a lot of different designs. Everything should go smoothly.

All the layouts are approved and ready to be printed when the campaigns ends.

I am located in Italy, I can't do the fulfillment directly and so I'm using a professional fulfillment center, Gamblers Warehouse. They have already shipped hundreds Kickstarter projects and have a lot of experience in this field.

Of course problems might happens, but I'll follow every step of the process to avoid issues and I will keep everyone updated.

All the elements shown may be changed and improved. Printed colors may be different from the ones you see on your screen.
